    Death Mar 1904 MAJOR Henry Spearpoint 79 Elham 2a 732

    Information below about this individual and family kindly supplied by Neil Harvey (Email: nharvey.keytechuk@btinternet.com):

    I have two more children: Henry Spearpoint b 1856 Folkestone FreeBMD B: Jun 1856 Major Henry Spearpoint * * * 1861 5 @ Radnor St. (Henry S) 1871 Mariner 15 @ East St. 1891 widower unemployed Fisherman 35 @ 31 Radnor St.

    William b 1859 Births Jun 1859 MAJOR William Elham 2a 683 1861 2 @ Radnor St. Not with parents on 1871 census

    I have also found a further Henry Spearpoint b1893 FreeBMD Births Mar 1893 Major Henry Spearpoint Elham 2a 1030

    I therefore consider it likely that the Jane Elizabeth Hall marriage in 1880 (see below) was probably to the 1856 Henry Spearpoint and that the 1893 Henry Spearpoint is their son.

    Marriage Mar 1880 Major Henry Spearpoint Elham 2a 1177 (To HALL Jane Elizabeth or Paterson Elizabeth) (If married Jane Hall, death could be her or more likely a child in Mar 1888 MAJOR Jane Elizabeth 30 Elham 2a 703)

    Notes:

    Information below about this individual and family kindly supplied by Sue [Email: susanrob@beyond.net.au] who writes (2006):

    "Henry's other brother is John Warman MAJOR. As you say, he shows up on the 1851 Census with wife Jane, but not confirmed that is the correct person. I managed to follow the family through from 1851-1891 Census and finally on the 1891 Census, he is listed as John W. MAJOR, Widow. So, I would say that he is definitely Henry's Brother. If you would like all the Census records, don't hesitate to ask."

    In the 1851 UK Census there is a 24-year-old John, with wife Jane age 27 and daughter Jane age 4. No sign of the other family members.

    John Warman Major - Marriages Mar 1850 Major John Warman Elham 5 184 (To MARSH Margaret, NEWMAN Elizabeth, SIMS Mary or WARMAN Sarah Jane). So if the census is correct and he married a Jane, that would be another Warman connection but no FreeBMD hit for death of a Jane or Sarah Jane Major.

    Notes:

    On the IGI (online) - Sarah Ann MAJOR, christened 6/6/1851, Folkestone daughter of Henry Spearpoint MAJOR and Ann.

    The 1851 UK Census reports as follows: 177 South Street, Folkestone, KEN Source: HO107/1633/2f/151 Henry MAJOR, Head, M, 27, Fisherman, b.Folkestone Ann MAJOR, Wife, M, 24, b.W.Hougham, KEN Susanna MAJOR, Dau, 2, b.Folkestone Sarah A. MAJOR, Dau 1month, b.Folkestone George MAJOR, Brother, S, 19, Fisherman, b.Folkestone Sarah TERRY, Sister in Law, S, 19, Dom.Servant out of Place, b.W.Hougham

    Sarah married John Warman Saunders (b 1 Apr 1851 Folkestone). The marriage was reg Marriages Dec 1870 MAJOR Sarah Ann S Elham 2a 1529 to SAUNDERS John.

    1871 UK CENSUS Dwelling: Radnor St, Folkestone, KEN (Elham) Source: RG10/1014/2/51 John W. SAUNDERS, Head, M, 20, Mariner, b.Folkestone, KEN Sarah A. S. SAUNDERS, Wife, m, 20, b.Folkestone, KEN Sarah A. SAUNDERS, Dau, 2 months, b.Folkestone, KEN

    This seems to confirm that John Warman SAUNDERS was b. Abt. 1850 in Folkestone and that his wife was "Sarah A.S." which corresponds with the following marriage information - Sarah Ann S. MAJOR. On the IGI (online) - Sarah Ann MAJOR, christened 6/6/1851, Folkestone daughter of Henry Spearpoint MAJOR and Ann.

    Advised by Irene Saunders that the S. is Spearpoint, as suspected.

    1901 UK census Sarah was 50 at 67 Dover St, Folkestone and Henry, her father, was living with her.

    I have also found a further Henry Spearpoint b1893 FreeBMD Births Mar 1893 Major Henry Spearpoint Elham 2a 1030

    I therefore consider it likely that the Jane Elizabeth Hall marriage in 1880 (see below) was probably to the 1856 Henry Spearpoint and that the 1893 Henry Spearpoint is their son.
